Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Pineapple chunks (fresh or canned)
- 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 0.75 cup Graham crackers (crushed)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (melted)
- 2 tablespoons Shredded coconut (toasted)
- 4 leaves Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the crushed graham crackers with the melted butter until the texture resembles wet sand. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, coconut milk, and honey. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
If using canned pineapple, ensure it is well-drained. Pat the pineapple chunks dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In serving glasses or bowls, assemble the dessert in layers: Start with a spoonful of the graham cracker mixture at the bottom, followed by a layer of pineapple chunks, then a layer of the yogurt mixture.
Repeat the layering process until all components are used up, finishing with a yogurt layer on top.
Sprinkle the toasted shredded coconut over the top layer as a garnish.
Chill the assembled desserts in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and for the layers to set.
Before serving, optionally garnish with a fresh mint leaf on top of each dessert.
